The pyramid shown below has a square base, a height of 7, and a volume of 84. what is the length of the side of the base?

Volume of a pyramid is (length * width * height) / 3

So we plug in the given information and solve. Let x = length and width since it's a square their measurements are the same.

84 = (x * x * 7) or 84 = 7x²

Divide both sides by 7 to isolate the squared variable.

x² = 12

Now square root both sides to isolate the variable

x = √12 which simplifies to x = 2√3

The measurements for the length and width of the base are 2√3 units or approximately 3.464 units.
